I keep losing things

I lost my favorite pen. I looked away for just a second and then it was gone. I don’t know how it happened, it was just gone.

I miss the way it writes, the ink was pure, the tip was sharp, I felt comfortable with it.

I keep losing other things too. My smile, my laugh, the way I used to talk to my Mom, friends, the boy that friend-zoned me. They were all just gone.

So when I lost that pen , I remembered all these favorite things that I lost. And I started to cry.

Because now I have to settle for a dull pencil I found on the ground.

  1. I hate losing things, really brings to attention how much you like them once you tear your room apart looking for it

  2. this reminds me of two things:
    the art of losing (a poem) and a quote – “no ideas but in things”

    i love how it was so small (a pen), but incredibly large (the other things you lost) – you blended them beautifully
